Managed WordPress Hosting and VPS

We provide full backend site management so you don’t have to worry about the details. We update WordPress and your themes and plugins, backup your site, scan and optimize your site daily to keep the hackers away and more – so you can focus on your content. We will configure email “MX” records if you want to use a commercial email service such as G Suite / Google Apps, and employ robust spam filtering. And you don’t have to worry about the details; we “flex” resources so you don’t have to try and figure out if you need a plan with more disk space, bandwidth, inodes or any of the other silly stuff other hosts “sell” you. Your site is up and running and just works!

We help you select any of the free themes we provide and advise on the best plugins for your site and install them all. We leverage our 10 years of WordPress experience to avoid costly conflicts and unsafe scripts so you can simply log into your finished site and create your content. Full design and content creation is also available at our low rates, or you can use your one free hour of monthly support to have us assist you with content.

Each one of your domains will receive an SSL certificate at no additional cost to assure your customers you care about their privacy and security. You can optionally take advantage of free Cloudflare CDN service at no extra cost to speed up your site and protect your site from “comment spam”.

Add in our free personalized support for your site’s backend from a single source using phone, text, email or our ticket system and a full hour of premium support for any task – content creation, adding sidebars or widgets, etc. – for Managed WordPress plans, and two hours of support on VPS plans, and you have a monthly package worth $103 for managed hosting alone.

World Class Safety and Security

Our hosting servers are managed 24/7 by our data center in Dallas, TX, a location chosen for it’s fast response rate to anywhere in North America.

We secure our managed hosting servers with four layers of protection, starting with data center based DDOS protection, and a full time firewall application that checks for intrusion attempts, hacking, and other suspicious activity. We employ daily scans for server rootkits from two trusted sources, plus a commercial grade exploit scanner to protect your content from malicious file uploads, malware, virus or other attacks. If your account is compromised we will restore it at no additional charge. These protections apply to the Self-Hosted plan, Managed Hosting and our VPS plans alike.

We operate four geographically distributed domain name (DNS) servers to ensure any browser, anywhere in the world, will be able to find your web site at any time. Each of these servers point your domain name to our hosting server, and we double up on the number of them for an extra layer of security. Many small hosts have these domain name servers on their hosting servers to save money, and in case of an outage everything stops. With our system your email will still flow to your email provider, or be held by the sending server if you route all email through your account here.
